Ferrari's 2009 car is "extremely difficult to drive" and explains why
its occupants have struggled to keep up since Felipe Massa crashed in late
July.

Luca Badoer was ridiculed by the media and replaced after just two races by
Giancarlo Fisichella, who had stunned the Formula One world with his pace
in the Force India at Spa-Francorchamps.

But the highly experienced Roman has also notably struggled at the wheel of
the number 3 car, and team boss Stefano Domenicali admits the Maranello
built design is "extremely difficult to drive".

"The drivers simply don't have the confidence about how the car is going
to react, so they brake earlier and go back onto the gas later," he is
quoted as saying by Auto Bild.

Domenicali added: "I would like to say something about Luca Badoer,
because everyone put him down. Giancarlo did a fantastic result in Belgium
before he came to us and now also he is struggling.

"It would therefore be wrong to push all the blame onto the drivers,"
said the Italian.
